Blogging?

Hello. I am an American Mom.

I love the written word and am looking for a creative outlet. I am looking for a place to record the daily events of my Red White and Blue experience.

As I start this blog September 2, 2009 I am a wife to J whom I will call Patriot. I am a mom to N & E who will be Freedom and Justice respectively. Freedon just turned 14 in August and Justice is 9-1/2. Patriot and I have been married for 14-1/2 interesting years. I love him more deeply now than I ever could have imagined when we were first married. He is my earthly foundation, he is my compass, always pointing me to THE ROCK on which we choose to build our lives.

I feel blessed to be living the American experience. Although I am not always pleased with the choices that are made by our government, I am aware that the government that we have is far better than that which most others live under and for that I am thankful.

I serve a living God, and have chosen to make him the Lord of my life. I yearn to have a deeper more personal relationship with him. Although in this area I feel like I am failing daily. I seem to put other things first and often do not "fit" time into my day to talk, walk, listen to, and worship my Lord. I know that this needs to be different, I want this to be different, I just need to DO this differently. Feel free to hold me accountable in this area.

I hope to post here 3 - 4 times each week, but have tried this before and have let posting slip to nothing. What can I say, I am a work in progress....
